The purpose of this study is to analyze the internal factors that influence the performance of local government hospitals in Korea. Out of 34 Local Government hospitals, 6 hospitals were selected as sample hospitals. Then hospitals were divided into two groups(3 hospitals each), one of which was profit-making and the other loss-making. The criteria in selecting profit or loss-making hospitals was Normal Profit to Total Assets. The major findings of this study were as follows : The headcount per 100 bed of the profit-making hospitals was 8.8 persons less than the loss-making hospitals and the ratio of payroll expenses to total revenue 14.7% less. Inpatient bed occupancy ratio of the profit-making hospitals was 92.8%. This result is higher 21.8% than loss-making hospitals.

Findings are based upon lending, headcount ratio, offers, the value of their offer, and the possible growth chances of microfinance in Muzaffarabad. In addition to this, the challenges associated with microfinance outreach have been highlighted during analysis and guidelines have been provided to the MFBs and MFIs to increase their outreach. The sector is financially unstable which is attributable to its reliance on conventional sources of funding.

According to the increase of the proportion of aged people, the medical demand for a senile chronic disease has been increased; therefore, aged people call for a geriatric hospital for special geriatric medical service. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the general characteristics and financial status of geriatric hospitals. For the study, a questionnaire was designed and sent to the geriatric hospitals to fill out the patient statistics, number of headcount by department, etc. to find out the stability, profitability, activity and so on financial statements of the hospitals were analyzed. The major findings of this study were as belows. 1. The ratio of the medical expenses to the revenue of the geriatric hospitals is much lower than acute care hospitals. But the probability of bankruptcy is higher due to the high ratio of the liabilities therefore it is required to stabilize the financial position by donating more money. 2. Government budget for the elderly people is not enough. To support the geriatric hospitals by going subsides, government should increase the budget. 3. Portion's of the patient of the geriatric hospitals are government support patient. Since the government doesn't pay the medical charges quickly, geriatric hospitals have a serious cash flow problem. Therefore, it is required that government is to prepay the bill. 4. Since geriatric hospitals treat elderly patient and most patients are government support patients, geriatric hospitals can be said to operate under the strict. 5.

This study was designed to find out the factors which influence on the financial performance of the hospital. Out of 32 provincial hospitals which were established by the government, 10 hospitals were selected as sample hospitals. Ten hospitals were divided into two groups(5 hospitals each), one of which was profit-making and the other loss-making. The criteria in selecting profit or loss-making hospitals was net profit to total revenue. The major finding of the study was as follows; 1. Whether or not a hospital had specialized in certain departments was proved to be the major factor influencing on the financial performance. Three out of five profit-making hospitals could harvest following results by operating specific departments. (1) Man powers needed for the operation of specific departments were 14.6 persons per 100 bed, which was only 1/7 of the general hospital. (2) The number of doctors has not increased in proportion to the increase of the number of beds. (3) Ratio of total revenue to MD.'s payroll expenses of the profit-making hospitals was 75.0% higher than the loss-making hospitals. (4) The average length of stay of specific department was very long(388.1 days). However, the specific departments were found to have contributed much to the financial performance because the occupancy rate of such departments was very high(94.5%). 2. The headcount per 100 bed of the profit-making hospitals was 23.9 persons(24.0%) less than the loss-making hospitals and the ratio of payroll expenses to total revenue 15.1% less. 3. Averagel revenue per specialist of the profit-making hospitals was 100 million(25.1%) more than loss-making hospitals and the ratio of total revenue to MD's payroll expenses of profit-making hospital was 75.0% higher. 4. Profit-making hospitals have introduced new systems or renovation in 36 fields, such as incentive payment system, utilization of contracted man powers, change of the payroll structure of the nurses, specialization in certain departments, etc; however, loss-making hospitals introduced only 25 new systems or renovations. These kind of renovation could not be achieved without the cooperation of the labor union and the strong will of the top management. Therefore, it could be said that the labor union of the profit-making hospitals seems to have been very cooperative compared with that of loss-making hospitals.

본 연구에서는 최근 25년간의 데이터를 이용하여 아시아 각 국가 사이에 빈곤수준이 서로 수렴하는 것인지 혹은 오히려 격차가 더 증가해 왔는지를 분석하였다. 특히 무역은 이러한 수렴 여부에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지를 분석하기 위해 빈곤자비율(H)과 인간개발지수(HDI)의 두 가지 지수를 이용하여 계량분석을 실시하였다. 분석방법으로는 경제성장 분야에서 흔히 쓰이고 있는 소위 σ-수렴 측정과 β-수렴 측정방법을 이용하였다. 그 결과, 분석기간 동안 H는 평균적으로 감소해 왔으며 HDI는 증가추세를 가진다는 것을 발견하였다. 하지만 이러한 추이는 아시아 국가들 전체의 평균 추이를 나타내는 것에 불과하기 때문에, 본 연구의 관심사인 국가 간 수렴여부를 추가 분석하였다. 그 결과 H는 국가 간에 유의한 정도의 수렴이 나타나지 않는 반면 HDI는 수렴하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 무역은 이 과정에서 역시 H수렴에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤다고 보기 어렵지만 HDI의 경우에는 무역이 수렴속도를 향상시키는 데 일정한 기여를 했다는 것을 발견했다. 결국, 무역은 전반적인 삶의 질 향상을 통해 아시아 국가 간의 격차를 수렴시킨다는 것을 발견하였다.
